Eric Kendricks named Lott IMPACT Player of the Week


UCLA inside linebacker Eric Kendricks somehow missed out on all-conference honors last season despite leading the Pac-12 with 150 tackles. The junior hasn’t lost a step so far this fall, twice notching double-digit tackles through four games.

His 13-tackle showing in a 34-27 victory at Utah earned him Lott IMPACT Player of the Week. Kendricks was responsible for one of the Bruins’ six interceptions too.

Linebacker Anthony Barr won the Lott honor after logging 11 tackles and three forced fumbles in UCLA’s win over Nebraska last month. Five of six winners this year have come from the Pac-12.
